1 Corinthians 3:20 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise - They are always full of schemes and plans for earthly good; and God knows that all this is vain, empty, and unsatisfactory; and will stand them in no stead when he comes to take away their souls. This is a quotation from Psalms 94:11. What is here said of the vanity of human knowledge is true of every kind of wisdom that leads not immediately to God himself.
